From the author: About “friendship” from my book “Mind Games: Man-Drug”...However, the twenty-first century at this stage of relationships has come up with a new monstrous invention in terms of addiction . It sounds: “Let’s remain friends.” That two people remain not friends after a relationship is certain. Actually, friends are people who have a lot of common interests, who are somehow close. If someone in a couple does not want to maintain the relationship or develop it, this is not a very friendly act. Judge for yourself. You love, for example, English, but someone in a group of people starts communicating by declaring: “I can’t stand English, but we’ll be friends.” Would you want to be friends with such a person? Probably not very much. Although these linguistic differences can be overcome not so difficult, unlike extremely important issues, such as relationships. An offer to remain friends is the result of the guilt of the one who makes it. Realizing the ugliness of refusal, with this offer they try to somehow avoid a serious conversation, and often not only with the abandoned person but also with their own. conscience. However, it would be much more useful in this situation to answer with a direct refusal. Of course, friendship between a man and a woman can exist, but not in the case when someone has previously experienced romantic feelings or hopes for them. Modern Russian writer M. Ketro also. indicates the harm of such a strange friendship: "...At first she looks for a new star to replace the lost one, gradually gets carried away, and she simply begins to like life - in general, regardless of what. Well, then they meet again. For example, he calls or writes. How are you, how are you doing? Are you still? Well done. And before you... Well, well. It’s called “small talk,” but no matter how many years have passed, as soon as you hang up the phone, for some reason your soaring soul immediately falls to the ground. Because suddenly it turns out that all her victories were largely contrary. “Our great and terrible one stumbled on this. Friedrich Nietzsche began writing his anti-Christian and anti-moral works after he was rejected by his beloved Lou Salome. Being a writer and thinker, he spent a lot of time in his thoughts and imagination where he drew the ideal image of his passion. Let us remember people with a schizoid psychotype and their desire to live in their imagination. After the refusal, Nietzsche makes another fatal mistake. Instead of finally breaking up with Louise, he accepts her offer to remain friends. Constantly seeing her, but not being able to achieve her love, he suffers even more. Having received a second refusal from the Russian writer, he finds himself in the deepest depression, after which he locks himself in a house in the mountains, where he goes crazy, writing his works denying the highest. morality. After unrequited love for Louise, Nietzsche never married. In his own way, a bright idealist, broken by the encounter with someone else's freedom. After the death of the writer, misinterpreted, his works become part of the fascist ideology of Adolf Hitler..
